With his young team down 40-14 at halftime against one of the state’s premier teams, Jefferson Coach Larry Niemeyer told his players, “Go back out and relax and just try to do the things we can do.”

What they could not do was contain Linn-Mar star Kiah Stokes, who dominated the Dec. 7 game from the opening tipoff, scoring eight of the game’s first 10 points. She went on to break Linn-Mar’s 21-year-old single-game scoring record early in the fourth quarter when she reached 39 points with her 19th bucket.

Lions win battle of champions

Sat - 04 Dec Written by Metro Sports Report

MOUNT VERNON — Linn-Mar built a 17-2 first-quarter lead and then withstood a persistent Mount Vernon rally to beat the Mustangs, 64-60, Saturday night (Dec. 4) in a nonconference game.

The game matched defending state champions. Linn-Mar won the Class 4A title last year and Mount Vernon was Class 2A champion. Both teams are highly rated again this year. Linn-Mar (4-0) is No. 3 in 4A and Mount Vernon (2-1) is No. 2 in 3A.

Linn-Mar destroyed Mount Vernon Coach Bob Kintzel’s strategy to pack the post and Lions’ star Kiah Stokes at the start of the game by making its first seven shots, including five 3-pointers, to build a 17-2 lead.
